Lei Yue Longmen

But what she worries about will come.

However, since Chuan Feiyan entered the palace together with other official wives, he paid special attention to whether there was "Gu Qing" among the people in the household department?I haven't seen her for more than a year, and Chuan Feiyan always wants to catch up with her.However, what is disappointing is that she almost saw all the faces of the wives, but she didn't see "Gu Qing".

Ordinarily, she should be able to spot outstanding characters like her siblings in the crowd at first glance, but after hearing the roll call, she couldn't find them.Really? Damn it.

Due to the large number of people who came, it was inevitable that some people were whispering.It wasn't until Empress Dowager Yan walked out of the inner room that the steps became quiet.Chuan Feiyan paid homage to the Empress Dowager outside the hall with the crowd, so she stopped paying attention to the steps and continued to search among the crowd.At this time, there was a chief eunuch in a green python robe, wearing a mountain hat, and holding a dust whisk in front of the steps? He raised his voice and announced:

"Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Cen Zhu, the right servant of the Empress Dowager's Xuanhu Department, has an audience!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone looked enviously at a certain place. It was a great honor to be able to enter the palace and pay homage to the Empress Dowager directly.Chuan Feiyan was even more so happy from ear to ear. This is really? There is nowhere to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.

But in front of Fang Zhucui's camp came out a slender and slender woman, wearing a real red large-sleeved shirt and a peacock emerald bead crown, walking up the steps skillfully with her back to the crowd.With a slender body and a calm gait, you can still vaguely see a shadow of when you first met.

Chuan Feiyan didn't expect that his own mind was at work, so he was secretly excited.It was also a coincidence that Li Jingchen came out of the Cixiang Hall not long after Gu Qing entered.This time, she came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother in front of all the wives, because she wanted to suppress the rumors in the capital about the discord between the Eastern Palace and the Cixiang Palace.

But in the eyes of Chuan Feiyan, she has become "Gu Qing" with her front feet in and her feet out. Except for the apricot yellow sleeve shirt on her body, which made her a little confused, the rest of the image is the same as what she saw in Hushan County. People fit perfectly.

Chuan Feiyan was surprised and delighted, and imagined that she might have been bestowed by the Queen Mother. This is a matter of how decent and beautiful she is. No wonder everyone looked at her with respect. .

Due to the occasion, Chuan Feiyan didn't immediately go up to say hello, thinking that since the person had already arrived, it would be a while, and it would be the same if we met again at the banquet.

When attending a banquet, the more honorable the person, the more they have to stay behind and appear in order to receive the support of thousands of people.So the Empress Dowager left all the concubines and princes and wives to sit in the Cixiang Palace for a while, Chuan Feiyan and the little shrimps took their leave first, and went to the palace banquet.

At a corner, she suddenly saw Li Jingchen again.It was getting dark at that time, and she was squatting halfway in the palace path, arranging the clothes of a little boy, telling him something.Chuan Feiyan slowed down out of curiosity, and when the team passed by, she turned around and walked towards her.

"Siblings?!"

Hearing this slightly familiar voice, Li Jingchen turned his head straight, looked at the person who came, and after careful identification for a while, he finally saw clearly who she was from under the emerald bead crown, and then he was a little surprised And panic fell in my heart.She didn't know why she panicked, as if she didn't want her to see through this secret, she hurriedly ordered the people around her to take over Li Zhouxuan: "Take him to the banquet first?"

"I want to follow my mother." But? Li Zhouxuan was not happy? He hugged her sleeve pitifully and refused to leave.

"Don't be fooling around. I have important things to do. You and Yun will go to the banquet first and play with my aunt. I'll be there in a while."

"Oh. Mother, come quickly." Li Zhouxuan was carried away by Yun Zai.Chuan Feiyan looked at his small round face looking back eagerly, and reacted for a while, "Well, brother and sister, you are giving birth so fast, how does the child look like? Why does it look like four when it is less than one year old? Looks like five years old." After she finished speaking, even she felt that there was something wrong with what she said. No matter how long a baby can grow, it can't be like a bamboo shoot.

"This is? How fat four?" Chuan Feiyan tilted his head, puzzled.She wondered to herself, could it be that the two of them had secretly married each other for a long time, so they got married with a son?Oh, if it's true?, then wouldn't I? I've revealed the secret, what's the matter?

Li Jingchen knew about Jiang Yiting's entry to Beijing, but he didn't expect that Cen Zhuo didn't pass by Chuan Feiyan beforehand.She looked around to see if there was no one there, and was about to take her to a secluded place to explain, when two shadows walked towards her from the other side of the palace road.

A tall, lanky woman walked quickly and firmly.A palace servant bent slightly and trotted along with her, "Mrs. Cheng, do you want to go back? I'm going to plead for you. The queen mother may blame you for leaving like this!"

The woman didn't stop, and said calmly: "It's useless. Since I'm a member of Cheng's family, I've already been mentally prepared for this. Please tell the eldest princess her kindness. I appreciate her kindness. I'm not here, I'm sorry for everyone. ?good."

Li Jingchen took a closer look and found that this person was Du Xiuzhu, the wife of Cheng Gongjiang, commander of the Southwest Frontier Army.In Queen Mother Yan's Palace, she was also an extremely unpopular figure.Because of Empress Cheng's revenge for seizing her son, the Cheng family in the southwest has always been a thorn in Empress Dowager Yan's heart that cannot be removed.Even to a certain extent, the reason why Li Jing's mother was hated by the Yan family was also because of the relationship with the Cheng family.Yan believes that the emperor waited until five years after the death of Empress Dowager Cheng to formally recognize his mother. It was Hai's obstruction who separated them from their mother-child relationship.Because Empress Dowager Cheng is the Empress Dowager Cheng, and she serves Empress Dowager Cheng more attentively than Concubine Yan, so she definitely doesn't want to have another queen mother for no reason.

Regarding this point, Li Jingchen was very clear that his mother was wronged.With her character, she doesn't bother to do such things at all, and there is no need to do them, because the reason for preventing the emperor from admitting his mother is not her from the beginning to the end.

The real situation back then was far more complicated than ordinary people imagined.

In fact, the emperor never planned to recognize his biological mother from the beginning.He is the eldest son of the first emperor in name. No matter in the classics or in the annals of history, his biological mother is Empress Cheng. Only a few people in the harem know that he is a concubine.

If the emperor recognizes his biological mother, he will first face the decline of his own identity, from the eldest son of the legitimate son to the eldest son of the concubine.Although there is no fundamental change in the legitimacy of his succession, the close relationship with the first emperor will lag behind that of the eldest princess.

Secondly, it is the decline of the status of the mother's family.Behind the Empress Dowager Cheng is the Cheng family, one of the commanders-in-chief of the Four Borders.And there is only one Taishi Yan behind Concubine Yan, or is it because of the honor of Concubine Yan that she was promoted exceptionally.No matter from which aspect, it is more advantageous for the emperor not to recognize his mother than to recognize his mother.

Therefore, a few years before Li Pinghong succeeded to the throne, there was only Empress Dowager Cheng in the harem, and there was no Empress Dowager Yan.

And the first time the emperor had the idea of ​​admitting his mother was when he saw a family's main wife sending someone to snatch the concubine's son when he was patrolling Zhuohe in Weifu. On the contrary, his own child was ridiculed by his wife, saying that she did not deserve to have his own son.The emperor was very touched by this matter, and after returning to the palace, he discussed with his close ministers the possibility of admitting his mother.Among the close ministers, there are those who support it and those who oppose it, but those who oppose it account for the majority.

The main reason for the opposition is because of the second article.Yes? The emperor already has a recognized biological mother, the Empress Dowager Cheng. If he goes to recognize another biological mother, the Empress Dowager Yan, where will the Empress Dowager Cheng and the Cheng family be placed?At that time, not only the hard work of the late emperor's marriage with the Southwest Cheng family will be in vain, but the emperor and the Cheng family will also have a separation, which may be detrimental to Yu Rui's long-term stability.

So? Things dragged on for nearly a year.When everyone thought that the emperor would no longer recognize his biological mother, the Cheng family expressed their support for the emperor's idea of ​​recognizing his biological mother through the mouth of the eldest princess, and claimed that this was also the wish of the Empress Dowager Cheng during her lifetime.This was actually a compromise made by the Cheng family in order to give the emperor a step down.

The emperor himself was very grateful. After recognizing his biological mother, he repeatedly stated that the grace of nurturing and the grace of childbearing are equally important. Recognizing his biological mother will not change his attitude towards the Cheng family and the Queen Mother, and he treats the Cheng family better than before. ? More affectionate.At that time, the result was indeed a happy one.But the bad thing is that time has passed? The situation has changed and people's hearts are changeable.

After Yan's position as empress dowager was firmly established, she began to criticize the Cheng family overtly and secretly, making it clear that she wanted revenge.The emperor knew her intentions, but he had no choice but to persuade her to no avail, and it was hard to be a man in the middle.

What's even more troublesome is that she actually came up with the big guy's idea.The emperor was in poor health for a period of time, often lying on the bedside of the sick.Since then, the Yan family has launched her "brother end brother and brother" offensive, and can't wait to persuade the emperor to depose the prince and pass the throne to King Xiao.This has actually violated the emperor's bottom line, but due to the unhealed mother-child relationship for many years, he doesn't want to pursue it, but the other party still doesn't know it.

One night, he was very sick and drowsy. He accidentally heard the sound of tables and chairs turning. He opened his eyes and saw the pair of Yan Shi and Xiao Wang taking advantage of his unconsciousness. Rummaging around the room.Xiao Wang came to the head of the bed, his face was only a slap away from him, and he groped around against the mattress. He could clearly see the sweat on his forehead and the coils on his chest through the cracks in his eyes. dragon.Probably? He searched unsuccessfully, and was so depressed that he suddenly pulled out the emperor's pillow?, and fell directly on his face.At that moment, the emperor's fists were clenched tightly, and his heart was frozen to the bottom.And Yan Shi stood by and witnessed from the beginning to the end, but remained indifferent.It's just that when her youngest son made a big fuss, she persuaded him a little: "Keep your voice down, don't wake up this sick ghost."

It was hard for the emperor to describe how he felt when he heard his biological mother call him a "sick ghost". Yan's ignorance and ignorance were secondary. Her selfishness, greed, partiality and indifference really made the emperor extremely sad.If not? A petite footstep suddenly ran in, he didn't know what the mother and son would say or do to him.

Probably because of a guilty conscience, Xiao Wang immediately stuffed the pillow behind his neck, sat on the head of the bed pretending to be visiting a sick man, and asked him how he was while covering the quilt.And Yan Shi didn't even bother to cover it up? He yelled at his five-year-old daughter, "What are you doing here?"

"I'll come and see Daddy." Fortunately, she wasn't afraid.She ran quickly to the bed, and touched his face with her small hand. That was the only trace of warmth that the emperor felt in the freezing cold room.

At the time, she didn't realize that she, too, was in danger.Fortunately, those two people still have some bottom line in life. They didn't find anything in the bedroom, and they went to another room to search. It didn't hurt his little daughter.

She climbed onto the bed to comfort him, "Daddy, don't cry, don't cry, mother will be right back."

The emperor didn't even have time to wipe away the tears from his eyes, so he whispered to her: "Fei Li, go quickly? Find Guard Cui and let him come in to protect you."

At that time, the empress was raising her baby on Qixia Mountain. She was not in the palace at all, and the crown prince was far away in the East Palace. His only hope was this little daughter. He was afraid that she would not understand, so he told her, "Just by my father's side all the time. Remember that Cui guard who helped you put the bird back on the tree nest?"

"remember."

"He's just outside the gate, you go? Tell him to come in."

Afterwards, the Ouchi guards rushed into the emperor's bedroom to dissuade the two people with ulterior motives, and sealed off the Yaohua Palace, and no one else was allowed to step further.

The emperor asked his confidant eunuch Cai Ya to check the items in the room and found that an imperial seal was missing.But the emperor knew that their purpose was not just an imperial seal, but a seal of the Shenwu Eagle Talisman that could control the Shenwu Army.With the Eagle Talisman, they can mobilize [-] martial arts troops and go straight to the palace.If the emperor hadn't made preparations in advance and hadn't hidden the Divine Warrior Eagle Talisman in his bedroom, the consequences would have been disastrous.

After he recovered from his illness, Li Pinghong didn't say anything on the surface, but he already hated the mother and son in his heart.When King Xiao committed the crime of murder, he didn't care about his brotherhood at all, and immediately deposed him as a commoner and exiled him to the frontier.Originally, he wanted to kill him directly, but considering his reputation, he finally let him go.After that, the mother and son lived in peace on the surface for more than ten years. It was not until King Xiao committed the unforgivable crime again, and the emperor seized the handle and confiscated his home and killed him in one fell swoop.

No more, no less, for seven years, during which many people urged the emperor to treat his biological mother kindly, but the emperor remained indifferent.It was not until the last two years that the emperor took the initiative to ease the relationship between mother and child because of reputation considerations.

This is the first time Empress Dowager Yan has returned to Beijing after seven years. Obviously, she still has deep-rooted hatred for the Cheng family, for Empress Dowager Cheng, for Empress Hai, for Li Jingchen, and for everything.

The current commander of the Cheng family, Cheng Gongjiang, is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Cheng. Since childhood, he was raised in the palace with the emperor and the eldest princess, and has always had a close relationship with the Empress Dowager Cheng.In Yan's heart, as long as he has a relationship with Queen Mother Cheng, it is already an original sin.Let alone the wife of the Empress Dowager Cheng's nephew.

Because Jiang Yiting's grandfather was former Minister of Rites, and happened to be involved in the process of the emperor's identification of his birth mother, Chuan Feiyan also knew a little about this matter.Looking at the hazy night, Mrs. Cheng left with a stubborn face, and her heart was full of sympathy.

Chuan Feiyan had a general impression of the wife of the Commander-in-Chief of the Four Borders. Mrs. Tu, who had gone mad, was a short, graceful, aggressive woman with a round face. Bitter, the two faces can be freely switched; Mrs. Zhou in the northwest is thin and short, but she has a calm temperament and a kind person. Her natal family is in business and has a lot of money. Every year, she presents the most generous gifts to the emperor and queen mother; Mrs. Wen of Nanjiang is a sickly old lady, older than the Queen Mother, but she likes to apply powder on her face. Her whole face is pale and pale, and she always looks like a thriller; and this Mrs. Cheng is? A well-known talented woman, born in a scholarly family, in her early thirties, she is the youngest among the four wives, but she has the calmest temperament, with a calm and uncontested aura.

Who is Chuan Feiyan? She sympathizes with anyone who is weak. When the Empress Dowager Yan was weak, she sympathized with others who lost their children.But now it is obvious that Mrs. Cheng has suffered a loss and has become the weaker one, and she sympathizes with others not being treated well.After all, it was a matter of the previous generation. Time has passed and circumstances have changed. The emperor has recognized his mother again, and the Cheng family has also made concessions.In this way in front of a large crowd, it would be a loss of grace to make other people unable to get off the stage.However, she thought again, if her small mansion was robbed, it would be difficult for her to maintain her demeanor.Alas, who can tell who is right and who is wrong!
